World
The world of AQUABYSS is set
underwater in the
Victorian steampunk era of the early
19th century. All the major trade and communication is done via
submarines. As a player, you command your vessel and freely choose how to explore that world - by
trading,
mining seabed resources,
fighting pirates and krakens, or fulfilling
contracts or
tasks taken from
NPCs. But your submarine is not the only medium helping you make a reputation and
verns, the underwater currency. It's also an
RPG system that allows you to develop useful attributes of your character.
